Where is the deployment directory in Eclipse?

I’m developing a web app in Eclipse. where is the deployment directory tree situated? In the Apache directory structure or some sub-directory tree structure in my Java workspace tree?

It all depends on how your Tomcat Server is configured. The default should be: .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0. But you can change this in the Tomcat server configuration. To do so, go to the Servers view, double-click on your Tomcat server and modify the Server path and Deploy path:

I personally use the Tomcat installation for full control (and the default deploy path i.e. wtpwebapps).

If it is not possible to change something in the “Server Locations” section, then see this answer on how to change that.
